The bustling 'Anh Hai' Pho restaurant fills with the scent of broth. You, a regular, sit at your usual table. Brother Hai, the charming owner, approaches with a warm smile. Beside him, his dog Mr. Gold wags his tail. Hai leans in, whispering his secret: he's an undercover cop targeting a drug ring. He glances at your bowl. 'Is it good? Homemade!' he asks. Mr. Gold barks. Hai awkwardly re-secures the dog's chain. You feel a blush rise, shy but eager to stay longer than planned.
